Your account has been blocked ↗ from editing because your username gives the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, product, department, or website. '''Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy ↗.'''

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline ↗ and be aware that '''promotional editing is not acceptable''', regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you '''must''' disclose who is paying you ↗ to edit here. You may also read our FAQ for article subjects ↗.'''Please take a moment to either create a new account ↗, or request a username change ↗ to ''this account''.'''
:*'''To create a ''new account'' with a different username''', simply log out of this account and then click here ↗ to make a new one.
:*'''If you prefer to ''change'' the username of ''this account''''', you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page ''(this page)'': <code><nowiki>{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}</nowiki></code>.

'''Important items to note:'''

:*The new username that you choose '''must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy ↗'''.
:*The new username you choose '''cannot already be taken and used by another account'''. You can search here ↗ to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns, ''"There is no global account for [username]"'', that means it is available.
:*Please also note that you '''are''' permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as ''"Sara Smith at XYZ Company"'', ''"Mark at WidgetsUSA"'', or ''"FoobarFan87"'', but ''not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company"''.

'''Appeals:''' If your username '''does not''' represent a group, organization, department, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block ↗ by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page (''this page''): <code><nowiki>{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}</nowiki></code>.

Introduction to contentious topics

{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''the Arab–Israeli conflict ↗''', a topic designated as '''''contentious ↗'''''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee ↗. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators ↗ have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia ↗;

comply with all applicable policies and guidelines ↗;

follow editorial and behavioural best practices;

comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and

refrain from gaming the system ↗.

Additionally, you must be logged in, have 500 edits, and have an account age of 30 days ↗, and you are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any page within this topic.Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics ''procedures'', you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard ↗ or you may learn more about this contentious topic here ↗. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. }} Hemiauchenia (talk) 13:45, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

A Helpful Guide!

Sometimes, it's hard for me to find a way to create a wildfire ↗-related page. So, I sometimes need something to guide me through. Although, I think it's only right to share my WP:Guide ↗ with multiple different users. So, here you go---User:CostalCal/Guide! I hope you read this next time you create or edit a wildfire-related page. CostalCal (talk) 18:49, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

:Hi, thank you very much for this guide. I'm working on Storm King if you'd like to review it and add anything! Independentgeoscience (talk) 21:23, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗. It seems that you may have added public domain ↗ content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as :South Canyon Fire ↗. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism ↗, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources ↗, including the usage of an attribution template ↗. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you.  — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:37, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

:Hi, I did so as soon as I was alerted. It's all been noted as public domain content from the U.S. gov. Thanks! Independentgeoscience (talk) 22:18, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, I'm Entranced98. I noticed that you recently removed content ↗ from :Great Fire of 1910 ↗ without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary ↗. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page ↗. Thanks. Entranced98 (talk) 15:20, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

:Hi for sure, I'm struggling to remember what exactly it is I removed, as I don't really recall ever touching it. I may have shifted the importance to top but once again I don't remember modifying it. My sincere apologies, I'll try and check. Independentgeoscience (talk) 19:52, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
::This edit ↗ might ring a bell. In general, short description and date formatting templates at the top of articles shouldn't be removed without an explanation in the edit summary. Entranced98 (talk) 11:29, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
:::Gotcha! Again, my apologies for removing those. Entirely unintentional and will not happen again. Independentgeoscience (talk) 17:04, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
